One of our volunteers currently in Vietnam was eager to share a slice of his service program experience:

Today we had a special breakfast. Don had asked about the meal, the name
ofwhich I can't recall. Mr. Cuoung, the hotel manager made
specialpreparations to provide us with the meal. I loved it. The
Vietnamese foodseems to agree with me. As a diabetic, I test my blood sugar
every day, andthe results are very good. I can report my blood glucose
levels have beenquite normal the last several days. Brett is
happy.

The classes today is were especially fun. Tracy Carsten and Brett
Davidsonhave been using tongue twisters as fun ways to practice
pronunciation. Thestudents turned the tables on us and challenged us with a
Vietnamese tonguetwister.

This was the first day the team had to get
back to the hotel without MissPam. We had no problem.

In the evening
we attended the water puppet show, a traditional art form inVietnam. It was
a short 45 minute show, but quite delightful.

We had dinner at the 6 on
Sixteen restaurant and had food from the Saparegion of
Vietnam.

Thought of the day: "It's fun to have fun but you have to know
how." Dr.Seuss
